ARRMA Granite 3S 4x4 BLX REVIEW | Performance, Durability, & Best Upgrades?

[@s6ef4enko]

Clear, concise and actually helpful! All what is essential for an excellent review, thank you!

[@LVC_RC]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks. 👊

I have my granite for 7 months now. I still like it. I already change my motor mount and front shocks and i already bust my differential gear i switched to metal now and its good

[@demonz6644]

I got it from the hobby shop yesterday I love it so far

[@kjmdrumz3]

The only rc I’ve ever bought more than once. Should’ve never sold the first one. Absolutely fantastic! I sent her to the moon many times and ever only had leaky shocks.

[@seankoontz8937]

I have widened my Granite by putting the Big Rock suspension on with Hot Racing 17mm hex 10mm offset and it is extremely stable now!!! Reinforced the body with Drywall tape and Shoe Goo especially in the rear body mount area around the body post holes. Also at the top of the tailgate where it flexes when you land! Sometimes the slider shafts pop off at the u- joints. They easily pop back on and you can remedy this by wrapping fine wire around the u-joint, making sure it’s tight and tidy “ no excess hanging down to get wound up in the axle “ or cover with heat shrink which you may need to double up.

Great review! Love the Arrma 3S line-up

[@FarmerFpv]

Wow, what an amazing review. No fluff, straight to the key points. Look forward to the next one!

[@Hungrybird474]

I love this truck . it never disappoints yet . Flies good . 4s backflips are insane in this pup , 3s with a an arrma wide kit and 17mm hubs from eBay

[@LVC_RC]

@@Hungrybird474 Such a fun little truck. 🤘

[@warehouse1429]

Great review I’ve had mine for almost a year now it’s seen some major abuse on a large outdoor dirt track high speed runs bigger jumps pretty much everything I’ve only just finally now stripped out the plastic and put in ring but the spur gear had stripped many times which is usually caused by the boat motor mount putting the 6S shocks on these 3S lineups is great that’s the best thing I’ve done yet all my stock electronics have been fine including my servo lasted a good 6 to 7 hard months

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! Glad to hear you’ve been having fun with yours. 🤘😄

[@CarolusRex1346]

Great review of the Granite. It seems like a pretty solid rc👍

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! It’s a great little truck from my experience. 👊😄

[@Jjcustomsllc]

Enjoyed watching the video. Great review and upgrade suggestions!

[@nrd515]

A friend and I both got new Granites and the wheel hubs had loctite on them already. One less thing to worry about. There's always something breaking on any RC car/truck driven the way most people drive them.

[@RCRoads]

The Granite is a great basher truck. Perhaps not as controllable as Teem Associated Mt-10 but it sure is tough and fun to drive. The biggest complaint I hear is that it rolls over too easy. There are plenty of options to widen the Granite and that does help. The electronics are rock solid and overall it's easy to work on and upgrade. Great review as always.

[@geekytechycool]

Best overview I've seen with the Granite, nice work!

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 😄

[@harleydad1975]

Just got one for my son for Christmas, but I'm sure I'll be using it too lol Thanks for the straight to the point video. 👍

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks for watching! The Granite is a great platform, hope you guys have fun with it! 😄

[@louismays7810]

I just bought one. I wanted a rustler but these will do me well im charging my battery now. I need to get a lipo battery though

[@Hungrybird474]

You’re right , this truck needs absolutely nothing for upgrade’s . Maybe some big bore shocks . My servo hasn’t blown either . It’s plenty fast .

[@gravey07]

I love mine, ive only had one issue so far with a c.v popping apart. Maybe im not abusive enough 😅

[@moereefer]

Great review. I just picked up the Arrma Granite Blx I want to see if u knew how to make it a bit wider I heard you can buy the Typhon or Big Rock A arms and it’s a direct fit for a little wider stance?? Any help Would help. Thanks in advance

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! Yes, I believe you’ll need the Typhon front & rear a-arms and 3 pairs of the ARA330542 turnbuckles. 👍 I’ve heard a lot of great things about that mod. Have fun with your Granite!

[@moereefer]

@@LVC_RC thanks soo much

[@warehouse1429]

Go to JennyRC for 6s shocks if/when you upgrade those, they list the end to end mm sizes so for example talion front shocks are perfect for the rear

[@moereefer]

@@warehouse1429 thank you

[@gamercat7004]

I purchased the 4×2 boost arrma granite 2wd just with the roller chassis and tires and clear body. I notice the motor cover is all composite, and i end up putting an extra 3s velineon system laying around in this rc. And has the plastic spur gear in it.

Is this Granite the V3 or V2? It's on sale now for $260 and looking to buy one.

[@LVC_RC]

This is the V3. 👍

[@RayRiv73]

@@LVC_RCThanks!

[@coltonlynn2825]

I think they should definitely have steel diff gears for the pinion and ring gear, I lost the spring in the clutch so I took one out of my brushed Traxxas slashes, it had way more tourqe off the line instead of high end tourqe to pull 40 mile an hour wheelies like they usually do but those plastic diffs couldn't handle that much power off the line I've had my truck sitting there with broken diffs for about 8 or 9 months now

[@montana4069]

Which do you like better, the stampede 4x4 VXL or the granite?

[@LVC_RC]

Comparing the two right out of the box, I’d have to say I like the Granite more. I’ve experienced fewer problems with this stock Granite than I did with the stock Stampede 4x4 VXL.

[@LoXodonte]

what about compared to the hoss? @@LVC_RC

[@LVC_RC]

@@LoXodonte Both are great trucks, but considering the price of each I’d probably have to stick with the Granite.

[@s.h.5726]

Wish my experience was so good. First big rc I ever bought. Killed a 3s genace lipo in 3 runs @75 throttle limit. 3 of those plastic axles. I think rear diff is going. I hardly play with it cause it breaks almost all the time. Most run it over a baseball field or street.

[@fromthebackofmymind]

P.R. damage control for some other RC maker?

[@uncleal3695]

I just traded a box of scx10 parts for one of these. 😊

[@arcaderacer586]

I just got one of these last week. Is it normal for it to be a lil grindy sounding . Its my 1st arma. My stampedes dont sound like this. I love the granite bit its a bit noisy sounding. Normal?

Can you recommend items I’d need to upgrade to 17mm? New to the hobby and don’t want to mess up.

[@LVC_RC]

I haven't made the upgrade myself, but I believe most people use this Hot Racing 17mm adapter set: alnk.to/610sHdD

[@magnusjohansson295]

Very nice vid! How does this compare to the Big Rock?

[@LVC_RC]

Thanks! I haven't had experience with the Big Rock yet, so I'm honestly not sure. Due to this Granite's shorter wheelbase, it should flip and wheelie easier than the Big Rock. 👍

can you go slower with it crawling rocks?

@@jimdiez4036 You can go slower, but the open diffs and sensorless motor would make it difficult to crawl rocks.
